    And do not forget Alfred E. Neuman for President.....

  6. I was at Bordertown a few years back...Hit the food vendor for a meal....Gave the young lady a 20....I watch her count it back like we were taught years back...She did like a pro....I told her I was very impressed and proud to see here do it....I still remember that today....Something you do not see very often if they could even do it.......

    This is all I was going to say. Cut myself at the cabin and my finger was still bleeding the next day. Blood was running out the first day. Scary stuff for us both.

    If that bad and alone....Knife blade in the fire is next best thing....Might sting a little....

    Allie Mo reatored this topic from archive.  Thanks!

     

    I thought it a good collection of information on loading brass shotgun shells with black powder.

    I just hope I can down load or print this out...All the pages...Too good not to have for reference...

  11. Jabez Cowboy,

     

    Just so my simple mind understands this long range calculation, if I am sighted in at say 5,000' elevation and WR is say 1,500-2,000' that's a change of lets say for simplicity -3,000' how much of a drop or change should be expected?

     

    Thanks for this info,

     

    TB

    3,000' 6" give or take an inch...Does that help....

  12. Hell, I don't know. Let me check.

     

    Nope. Got a pulse and my back itches where I can't reach it, got acid stomach and I need to brush my teeth.

     

    I'll check again in the morning and let you know.

    In the morning look out the window...See if grass is still below the window sill...It's a good starting point...
